I need a favor!
I am a college student and I have barely any money. I want to gut my cat but I don't want the annoying cel on just in case I ever have a real problem. I have an 04 with 122,000 miles. Anyways, I was wondering if I can borrow anyone's accessport to delete the cel for the cat being gutted. I will return it the day I receive it after I delete the cel. I can provide some kind of collateral to ensure that you can trust me. If anyone is willing to help I will pay for shipping and all costs associated with the transfer. Just pm me. Thank you for your time and atleast looking!

The Accessport is married to the ECU ....
1) Install Cobb --- married -- copies oem ecu tables
2) Make new tune to mask cell
3) load new map
4) Uninstall Cobb -- divorce -- returns car back to OEM tables.
You have no choice about this

Sorry, doesn't work that way.
The AccessPORT works with your ECU by "installing" it into the ECU. This is a term we use, but what it really does is digitally pair that AccessPORT specifically to your ECU specifically. One AccessPORT can't be installed into another ECU until it is uninstalled from the previous ECU. So for example, in order for you to use it on your car, I'd have to uninstall it on mine, return it to the OEM tune, and it no longer blocks my CELs. You install it on yours, it blocks it, but in order for me to get mine back and working, you would have to uninstall it on yours, thus allowing the CELs to come through again.
And I would bet that no one is willing to give you an AP just to have. I certainly wouldn't. I love mine too much to part with.
The only sharing effect you can have with the AP (that I am aware of, but haven't tried it) is the code reading part. I'd expect that doesn't need an ECU installation, since I could do it before I installed mine in my 8. But, the code will come back next time you turn on the car.
